Beer and books at bold new bar

GREENFIELD — There’s a new place to enjoy a selection of craft beers, fine liquors and a night out downtown.

Seymour Pub opened with little fanfare, but a sidewalk sandwich board and word of mouth have been steadily drawing people to the new bar on Bank Row since the first of the month.

Owner Nathan Blehar likes it that way.

Blehar co-owns the Dirty Truth, a Northampton beer hall with an extensive list of drafts and bottles. At Seymour, he pours a more focused selection of craft beers, fine liquors and wines. He’s also got Guinness Draught and Miller High Life, for those looking for something they’re more familiar with.

He wants Seymour to be an intimate setting that, like pubs of old, serves as a community gathering point.
